Smile Smoked my rear side marker lenses

Since nobody seems to offer a set of reasonably-priced smoked/tinted rear side markers for this model-year, I decided to tint my own.

Had some trouble removing the lenses, but eventually popped them out from behind the rear bumper cover after removing the forward screws and the plastic pushpins at the side bottoms, then popping outward the bumper cover.

Then I washed them, dried them, applied 2 coats of "Lens Tint" (bought at Autozone for $14 but Wal-mart also sells it for $12), and 2 coats of clear

There are also a couple of pics down below of the front eBay-sourced smoked markers

Great job!!! I really like the outcome, I was thinking about doing that to mine (Sterling Gray as well). Were the ones from eBay actual replacements or a vinyl?

Thanks guys, I'm quite happy with the results, just wish that I got to wet-sand them.

The fronts were complete replacements :
